Holding On To You (Music from the Film Aichaku)

Aichaku is a 2024 Japanese feature film made by Tokyo based independent production company Tokyo Cowboys.
Featuring a collection of original songs stylized after 1950s music and an eclectic collection of musicians from around the world, Aichaku's soundtrack invokes a sense of nostalgia while still being distinct and original.

Ananda Jacobs wrote and produced 6 original tracks used in the film, two featuring guest performances by her father Peter Lawrence Jacobs.
With a personal sensibility embedded in the lyrics, the music was composed and produced to evoke an American 1950s atmosphere, from upbeat vintage rock and roll to mellow pieces offering pared down arrangements that usher the listener to a comforting zone where soulful innocence and wistfulness meet.
